Henry Buxton Forman était un bibliographe et un antiquaire de l'époque victorienne, dont la réputation littéraire repose sur ses bibliographies de poètes importants. Cependant, son nom est inextricablement lié à la révélation d'une vaste conspiration visant à écouler de grandes quantités de premières éditions contrefaites. Ces révélations ont jeté une ombre sur ses travaux antérieurs et ont compliqué sa place dans l'histoire littéraire. L'œuvre de Forman sert ainsi d'avertissement sur la fragilité du marché littéraire et l'importance de la provenance.
